Hi, The zc.zope3recipes:instance recipe creates a zdaemon.conf which writes the transcript_log and zdaemon's eventlog to the same file. That's actually fine. ZDaemon's reopen_transcript does exactly that: it reopens *only* the transcript. So when rotating the logfile (as zc.zope3recipes does it via logrotate) ZDaemon messages still go to the old logfile. I see two obvious ways to fix that: a) Write ZDaemon's eventlog to stdout b) Add a sane way to reopen the logfile. There is a logreopen command in ZDaemon but that actually restarts the daemon process. Comments?
